Tangata Whenua

Tūpou ki te maunga
Horoia e te awa
Mōhio ai ō tūpuna
Ka noho pūmau koe
Pāina i te rā
Ki tō tūranga waewae
Mōhio ai o tūpuna
Ka noho pūmau koe

Toitū te whenua
Whatungarongaro te tangata
Ko au te huka, ko te huka ko au
He Inuku ahau, ehara i te ekimo

Ko te tahua te atua
Mōhiotia whānuitia
Me kōrero kē e hoa
Toi tangata ki te upoko
He kaitiaki e
Mō ngā uri whakatipu
Mana whenua, mana moana
Mana tangata

Matamatahuānga, kei re raki o te honu
(Kia kaha Āmerika)
Kua rangona, kua kitea, kua tāmia
Hoki mai tōku iwi e
I patua i te rere o te reo
I tukuna koutou ki te kura patu wairua

Kua motu te taka o te roi
Ka pēhi i te noho tauwehe
Kāore he mea i tua atu
I te Māori ka tū ki tōna ūkaipō
Pēhi mai, pēhi atu
Ka ū te tāmore mō ake tonu
Mana whenua, mana moana
Mana tangata

Whaiwhai tonu mātou (ka whaiwhai, ka whaiwhai)
Ake ake tonu atu
Ka īnoi (ka īnoi)
Ki te marama, ki Tamanuiterā
Whāia (whāia, whāia)
Te taniwha, te taniwha
Ka ekea (ka eke)
Ka patua, anā ka toa

Toitū te whenua
Whatungarongaro te tangata
Te tangata
Te tangata
Te tangata

Tūpou ki te maunga
Horoia e te awa
Mōhio ai ō tūpuna
Ka noho pūmau koe
Pāina i te rā
Ki tō tūranga waewae
Mōhio ai ō tūpuna
Ka noho pūmau koe

Ka noho pūmau koe
Ka noho pūmau koe
Ka noho pūmau koe
Ka noho pūmau koe
Ka noho pūmau koe
Ka noho pūmau koe
